Zoom Co., Ltd. will release the “ZSG-1” plug-in power shotgun microphone in mid-September 2023, which is ideal for shooting video with a camera. The selling price at the ZOOM STORE is $69.
ZOOM ZSG-1 is a plug-in power shotgun microphone designed for videographers who shoot video with a camera. By sending audio directly to the camera, videographers can record the audio in the video file from the beginning without having to synchronize it with the video in post-production.
Light and compact design and weighing only 40g, this mic is easy to mount on your camera. It is said to be ideal for Vlog and run-and-gun style shooting where footwork and mobility are important.
It can be used not only for cameras, but also as an external microphone for smartphones. Also, the ZOOM ZSG-1 can be used in conjunction with the palm-sized F2 32-bit float compatible recorder.
